    Yeah, something very cool is XOR can only improve randomness as long as there's no correlation between the sources. So Linux RNG XOR'd with this comment is even better than it's so…

    Crypto people make fun of me for making up passwords in my head, but my brain RNG has never been exploited, nor has anyone successfully Sherlock'd my password.

    There's a staggering amount of new, basic software which often goes unmaintained quickly because no discipline was needed to build it. But I don't think we're seeing, for example, …

    After all this time it's still a pain point just to pay them for a Gemini API key.

    Blockchain protocols are also faced with the most active, persistent, and well-funded state sponsored attackers of any industry, so naturally formal verification should be of great…

    Perhaps with strategic striping on the ball they could also get angular velocity, could come up with some very cool stats. Or if you're really having fun, microchip every ball with…

    Near the end of 2025, Google was on top - best LLM (Gemini 3 Pro), best video model (Veo 3.1), and best image model (Nano Banana). They seemed unstoppable. And then, they stopped. …

    I typically disable autocorrect on Apple products because of this, cautiously optimistic about their improved speech models, but definitely worried that it's going to 'correct' tec…

    Kinda funny that their "cost-vs-performance" chart looks the same as the one for Composer 2.5[1], except that it includes Composer 2.5 at a completely different spot. What are the …

    If you're developing on top of LLM APIs directly, this is definitely not true. There are differences in how context caching works, in what's available through native harnesses, the…
